Well-known journalist Matvey Ganapolsky expressed his opinion on the victory of the actively touring in Russia singer MARUV in necotorie of Ukraine on “Eurovision – 2019”.

I’d like to remind you that the Russian Federation has more than a million Ukrainians. They earn there money, many of them pay taxes in Russia, writes “Obozrevatel”. Yes, lately their number is declining, but nobody comes to accuse them of collaboration with the enemy. Nobody says, “You’re Ukrainian, why do you do in Moscow repair of apartments for the Russians?”

The story of Eurovision jumped out just because she is very bright and the focus was the actors. Artists go for the money and this singer MARUV (although I haven’t heard and can’t evaluate whether it is suitable for Eurovision, but in this conversation it is not necessary), speak about it precisely because it was voted as a member from Ukraine. Although in reality, she’s just a worker. Only the workers renovating the apartment not the music.

But still, if it is good repair the apartment, it delights the eyes of the Russians just as his eye delights speech MARUV. So what’s the problem? The problem is not MARUV and not those who condemn it or support it. The artist is not a commodity that can be banned as banned Russian goods in Ukraine. The artist is not a product whose export can be canceled. To limit Ivan Dorn, he took it and left.

Of course, you can say, “well, and that she is going to hell!”. But let me ask you a question that is not asked by anybody. And imagine that MARUV to sign all the papers, signing where her bow now, will go to the Eurovision song contest and will take the first place. This means that the next Eurovision will be in Ukraine. This means that here, as in the last time I will visit tens of thousands of foreigners, who bring millions of dollars. Then what can you say about MARUV critics who now destroy it? What they will say? No, well, she, of course, won, but…

What actually happened? Something happened that the young post-Maidan government did not determine the form of the law, to allow or to forbid Ukrainian artists to perform in the Russian Federation. This decision, however difficult it may be, it is necessary. After all, what happens now? We’re arguing about morality. And the moral each person has their own and it is, by and large, a stranger cannot be sued.

Therefore, the government should remember that the history of MARUV or “Anne-Marie” again in a year, the next Eurovision song contest. Again, there must intervene a state that, looking to the Constitution guaranteeing all the freedoms of the Ukrainians and the political expediency, it is a war with an aggressor, should make a clear decision what is and what is not.

Otherwise, disputes, condemnation and insults will never end.

Recall MARUV told how to achieve peace in the Donbas, comparing the war with sex.

It was reported that Ukraine will be represented by singer MARUV with the scandalous number of national selection.
